Abstract: This article examines the role of poetry, picture poetry, and art in fostering human connection. It emphasizes the rich use of metaphor and figurative language in poetry, and how these techniques contribute to conveying meaning. The article also explores the incorporation of visual elements in poetry, such as picture poems, and how they interact with the text. Additionally, the text analyzes a specific artwork, "Purple" by John Akomfrah, to illustrate the profound emotional impact that can be achieved through the combination of words, visuals, and other sensory elements. Overall, the article highlights the social functions of poetry and art in invoking strong emotions and creating meaningful connections. [Extracted from the article]
